- Have any of you ever managed to replace the water pump bypass nipple in the head without removing the head? Also, where can I get a new one? I don't see them in the usual catalogs. BZ

- Easy to do. Take out the old one and replace it with a piece of 1/2" heater hose 1 7/8" long. Spray the hose and the fitting on the block/head with WD40, buckle the hose, as in sorta fold it, and put

- It's out. It just needed a little WD-40, vice grips, torch, hammer, punch, chisel, and a little patience. BZ

- Replace it? With the head on the motor...in the car? Oh, boy!!! Actually, you're better off closing off that port and running without it (slightly better cooling). Simply drill a 1/4" hole in the the

- Actually, it's out of the car. I just don't want to pull the head if I don't have to. I know if I take it apart, I'll end up rebuilding it. If I rebuild it, I'll want to make some modifications. If

- So why didn't you replace the hose when the water pump was out? Beats pulling the head. But like others said, use 1/2" heater hose and cut with some finesse, install the clamps before you wedge the h

- I am replacing it while the pump's out. I was just worried that I'd end up having to pull the head so that I could drill out the nipple. It's round and smooth, screws into the water jacket, and ther

- On my bare cyclinder head, it was as you described, pretty much corroded to nothing exposed out of the bottom. Needed a torch and stubby easy-out to get it removed. Had to borrow the stubby easy-out

- An experienced mechanic I worked with used to put a third clamp in the middle of the by-pass hose and tighten it just enough to contact the hose. He said it would prevent the hose from ballooning in
